Etymology

The word 'trek' originated in the early 19th century, derived from the Afrikaans word 'trekke', which means 'to pull'. It initially described the journey of Dutch settlers in South Africa who traveled overland with their wagons. Over time, the term evolved and became associated with any long and difficult journey, particularly those taken on foot in rugged conditions. The use of 'trek' in English gained popularity during the 20th century, particularly in the context of hiking and outdoor exploration. Today, 'trek' and its forms, like 'trekked', are commonly used in various outdoor and adventure travel contexts.
